New prosthetic legs await Bao Kham and Thong Xay at The National Rehabilitation Center in Vientiane, Laos. In 2007 the Lao government estimated roughly 400 people become new victims of UXO (un-exploded ordnance) each year in Laos, although outside estimates run much higher. Many of the new victims are children under age ten who are accidentally injured while tending to farm animals or performing other chores in rural Laos.
